NABL accreditation signifies that Tiscon Testing and Research Institute Pune , meets international standards for competence in testing, as per ISO/IEC 17025:2017. It ensures reliable, accurate, and consistent test results, recognized globally for quality and technical proficiency.
TISCON’s accreditation (Certificate Number: TC-8827, valid from 10/04/2024 to 09/04/2026) covers extensive testing of electrical transmission line equipment and accessories. The scope includes: Materials Tested: Stranded conductors (ACSR, AAAC, AAC, ACCC, ACSS, AL59, ACS, STACIR, OPGW, GS Earth Wire), armour rods, AB cable accessories, covered conductor accessories, power connectors, and more. Tests Performed: DC resistance, tensile strength, elongation, wrapping, lay ratio, dielectric voltage, electrical ageing, thermal tests, clamp bolt torque, magnetic power loss, and visual examinations, among others. Standards: Tests are conducted per international and Indian standards like BS, IEC, IS, IEEE, ASTM, ANSI, and NF C series. For a detailed scope, refer to the accreditation document available on the NABL website or contact TISCON directly.
